A new research project aims to cut the carbon emissions of cement by up to 40% by using waste clay in the manufacturing process.
The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has been appointed lead partner for the research. It aims to demonstrate how using recycled clay from brick manufacturing and overburden clays at quarry sites can cut cement emissions at the same time as reducing waste.
Funded by Innovate UK, the two-year project will examine the potential to cut the embodied carbon of cement by an expected range of 20-40% compared with CEM I cement.
